A Hard Profession.

Old DR.. johnson once said addressing q
class of medical students that the study OF
medicine was most arduous undertaking
that the most comprehensive mind and the
most industrious student could scarcely dc
more than explore the portals to medical
knowledge during the brief time allotted to
study before commencing practice, but that
throughout his whole life the responsibilities
Of his profession should rest upon him like a
night mare.
de should explore every avenue of natural
knowledge, must become familiar with chem
istry, natural philosophy aud natural history,
but, above all, he must learn the construction
of his own frame. the means bv which he
lives. moves and has his being. He must
understand the nature of all those influences
by which health lie broken down and restored
and by what means disease, suffering and
death may be averted. DR. Johnson further
says that nothing contributes so much to the
support of quackery as the present INSULT
cheney of medical knowledge. Men do not,
he says, easily abandon hope but as readily
put faith in ignorant pretenders as drowning
men catch at straws.
The good that men do in this life lives
after them" During the life time of old DR..
johnson he invented what is now known as
DR.. Johnson's Anodvne Liniment, a standard
family remedy of surprising
merit This liniment is both for in
ternal and external use and it is safe to say
that no single remedy ever discovered has
done so much good as this one. 1t is mex
pen>ive. ready at moments notice night or
day and may be used with absolute confiderc e
in the Thousand and one all nents that affi ct
humanity. In the cure of severe cramps or
pains in the stomach or bowels, dysentery,
diarrh@a, acute or chronic, this liniment is a
sovereign remedy. In the case of chronic
diarrhGa it is certainly worth its weight in
gold. 1t has been known to cure cases from
ten to fifteen years standing after the suffer
ers had been given up.

THE GOSPEL MEETINGS.

Meetings were held at the Congregational
church by DR.. Pentecost, Sunday morning
afternoon and evening In the afternoon be
preached from the text For many are cali
ed, but few are chosen His sermon was
very interesting and beneficial.
In the evening, the subject Fools was
announced in no spirit of lightness, and the
fools of the bible were not treated as idiots
but were considered as contrasted with pru-
dent men or wise men. According to the
worlds verdict. man that gives himself up
to the bent of his own incIinatious, spends a
fortune and throws away great opportunity
is a fool, and Gods judgment is that man
however intellectual or exalted, that make.
no provision for another life is fool With
narrative and description, and forcible ex-
pressions the speaker described knocking
fools, and raging fools. who boastingiy run
great hazard and also presented a life-like
portrait of the worldly fool who tears down
to build greater, and uttered some keen
things about what papers and tomb stones
might say of him. And so the man that
builds on the sand and the atheistic fool
were clearly presented to our vision, and in
contrast was portrayed in glowing colors,
the glories of the life of wisdom.
The audience was large, the people very
attentive, and at the close of the service,
thoughtful inquirers for truth were invited
to the chapel for meeting

different individuals to some extent. "A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an e1cellen,
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out Of order
and DiarrhGa or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are
often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
